Proteins are polymer of amino acids. They contain both amino (-NH2) and carboxylic group (-COOH) as their main functional groups.With this the side chains specific for amino acids will attach and form poly peptides during protein synthesis.

Proteins contain what kind of acids?
All proteins are made up of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. An amino acid has a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine group. Some of the amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid) has an extra carboxylic acid functional group in its side chain.
Is carboxylic acids inorganic?
No, all the carboxylic acids are organic because they contain carbon and hydrogen and have the living origin.
How do carboxylic acids and esters differ in odor?
Carboxylic acids have often not very pleasant smelling. Esters smell sweeter, often fruity.
Are carboxylic acids are unsaturated or saturated compounds?
They are saturated compounds
Which category of organic chemical is made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with ling aliphatic chain.
Do carboxylic acids get oxisidized?
Yes, to peroxy carboxylic acids.

Is Carboxylic acid does this contain fat?
No, carboxylic acids are simply a class of organic acids. Some carboxylic acids are fatty acids but are not fats nor do they contain them. Amino acids, the building blocks of protein are also carboxylic acids. One of the most common carboxylic acids is acetic acid, commonly sold as vinegar.
Why are Carboxylic acids considered weak acids?
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
What is the difference between acids and carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids are a type of acids which also has a -COOH functional group.
Is nitrogen an essential component of proteins?
All proteins are compounds comprised of amino acids. Amino acids contain amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) groups. Nitrogen is an essential component of the amine group in all proteins.
When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids are weaker
Do amino acids have protein?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are simply chains of amino acids. I think you meant to ask do proteins have amino acids. Amino acids as the name indicates (Amino) have amine groups, carboxylic acid groups and a side chain that varies depending on the amino acid (20 differnet types).
Carboxylic acids are moderately stronger acids than 2-naphthol?
Yes, lower members of carboxylic acids only.
What two molecules combine to form lipids?
glycerol and carboxylic acid combines to form a lipids.
What building blocks contain N in addition to C H and O?
Proteins: They were made up of amino acids which is composed of Carboxylic group and an amino group.
Are glycine and carboxylic acid th same?
No, glycine is one of many different carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids come in a wide variety ranging from formic acid to amino acids (which include glycine) and fatty acids.
